ROUTE SUMMARY:
Multiple flight log entries document trips between Jeffrey Epstein's base of operations and Columbus, Ohio — the headquarters of L Brands (formerly The Limited, Inc.) and home of billionaire Les Wexner.
EPSTEIN-WEXNER RELATIONSHIP:
Les Wexner was Jeffrey Epstein's most significant financial relationship. As the founder and CEO of L Brands (parent company of Victoria's Secret, Bath & Body Works, and The Limited), Wexner entrusted Epstein with broad power of attorney over his financial affairs beginning in the early 1990s.
Key aspects of the relationship documented in flight logs and other records:
- Regular flights between Epstein's properties and Columbus
- Wexner granted Epstein power of attorney over his finances
- Wexner transferred his Manhattan townhouse (9 East 71st Street) to Epstein
- The relationship ended in 2007, according to Wexner's public statements
FLIGHT LOG ENTRIES (Selected):
The manifests document passengers and crew on flights routing through Columbus, including:
- Business associates and financial advisors
- Individuals connected to L Brands operations
- Various named and unnamed passengers
FINANCIAL CONTEXT:
The Epstein-Wexner financial relationship has never been fully explained. Wexner stated publicly in 2019 that Epstein "misappropriated vast sums of money" from him, though no criminal charges were filed. The source of Epstein's wealth remains one of the central mysteries of the case.
